New account eh?

What's the point of this perspective?

Please add something constructive.

Their data did not look for cause, it looked to measure the current.

It's refreshing to get non-sensationalized reporting. We can draw our own - very obvious - conclusion. And no, it isn't so that the 'WEF will take away your freedoms'.

What are you talking about? Have you experience restrictions on private transportation or heating justified by incorrect climate change causality?

Yes, the EU will forbid the sale of new petrol vehicles starting in 2035.

Anyone know a good web site or publication that shows potential outcomes from all these different changes to global climate and where will be the best places to live in the future? Should i be looking to buy plots of property it Alaska?

Altitude not latitude. Alaska would be a somewhat bad spot to live if AMOC slows way down. You want places where the local climate is not driven by the ocean or air currents, meaning there is very little air above them. Think Bogota, Quito, Addis Ababa etc.

> Due to its altitude, Quito receives some of the greatest solar radiation in the world, sometimes reaching a UV Index of 24 by solar noon. [0]

High altitude isn't exactly a panacea...

I be would naïvely think to move to up north to colder places because they will get warmer and have to deal the least with climate refuges.

The equator will be death around it will be not that great, beyond that will be refuges. So Russia is looking great. There is a huge climate change boon Russia is set to receive within the next 50-100 years. Maybe Canada too and Scandinavia

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Which is reasonable even if there was no climate catastrophe at all, I really hope I can fully experience unpolluted and much more silent inner cities in my lifetime!

Anyway, regarding your freedom, you are free to leave to more free countries, where you can also have your leaded pipes and other unhealthy great things back!
